While this particular thread doesn't necessarily focus on the Swiger family, my records show Glenwood Swiger, Sr. was born 13 Dec 1926 here in Wolfe County and passed away on 10 May 1990, Butler County, Ohio. Glenwood's parents are Herbert Swiger and Rosalie Campbell. This family, including, Glenwood and siblings lived not far from where I grew up. Herbert's "Swigers" were, indeed, an old family line from West Virginia, but he "found" his way to Wolfe County and married Mitch Campbell's daughter, Rosalie.

Hello I am researching a few lines that originate, perhaps tangle is a better word, in Wolfe County. My great2grandparents were George Lee Lykins (as we knew him) and Jeanette Duff.  Recently we have confirmed that he grew up in Wolfe county as George Lee Campbell.  And more recently we have learned he may have been born George Lee Spencer.  His mother was Rausey (as we knew her) Mae Spencer d/o William M. Spencer, Jr and Nancy Jane Johnson.  Rausey is probably Rosa or Rossa Mae youngest of the family.   Rausey later married a Racliff? is my understanding. Rausey married William Campbell and most of William Jr and Nancy Jane Spencer's children married into the other members of William's family creating a super Campbell-Spencer association at the beginning of the 1900's.  My George Lee moved to Ohio (1920ish) and changed his name.  Both Jeanette and George Lee later remarried. We thought that there are perhaps two Bibles with information BUT on consideration it may be the same one.  One is a Wright/Chambers Bible and the other a Bible that shows the Spencers born in the county.  The Spencer Bible could be a continuation of the Wright/Chambers or be something totally different.  My uncle did see a Bible with Spencer births, deaths and marriages about 45 years ago in Wolfe County. Other information: Jeanette Duff is the daughter of John Logan Duff and Polly Garrison.  I know several people who know much about them but would love to know more.  William M. Spencer JR (He is not the Moses Spencer line but a cousin line to them) is fairly well documented by both the Spencer and Caudill researchers.  Nancy Jane Johnson is probably the daughter of James Addison Johnson (I have two choices for his family - Benjamin and Willis) and Martha Wright  (Elisha Wright and Ann Chambers).  Both the Johnson and Wright families' information is thin (mostly Owsley county but they later moved away) and we are struggling to put the picture together. I noticed the Mitch Campbell and Rosaline Campbell reference of the other post.   Any relation to William Campbell of Wolfe? What information am I scouting for?  Spencer Bible?  Why George Lee changed his name?  Where did everyone end up? I would rather deal with hard truth than wonderful lies, Dee
